Nope, warm to the touch but that's all.

Hi guys, I'm having a strange issue since I installed an MSD Blaster 2 coil, new plugs and wires. Sometimes the car will stutter, as if it had lost spark, and I can't pinpoint why. This is what I have of info for you mopar detectives: Currently Points distributor, will install a pertronix...

Thank you for the replies guys, you've been very helpful.

Hi all, Yea it's a Brazilian Dart I brought to Australia. And the wiring is all original, there's no hacking at all. I can get any parts that are available in the USA, so that's not an issue. Any ideas of a setup that would charge well at low rpm? That's the biggest issue I have with the...

Thanks for the answers guys. That's interesting. I thought for sure that was the limiter, but I'm by no means good with electrics so your guess is way better than mine. I'll test the red wire this weekend. Do you have any pics of the regulator in the fuel gauge? I had the dash apart a few...

Mine looks like this. Any ideas?

Hi again! I'm also looking for a replacement alternator and voltage regulator. Can somebody let me know what I can use to replace this one? The more painless, the better. Thanks fellas!

Hi guys I have a 1970 Dart with a factory rallye dash (that's how they came inBrazil). Do you guys know what type of instrument voltage regulator I need? And where to buy it? Cheers!

Hi guys, I found this alternator in Summit Racing, apparently it has an in-built voltage regulator. Does this mean one could bypass the factory voltage regulator completely? Could somebody explain what this installation would look like? Powermaster Street Alternators 74191...

Thanks mate, that was very informative!

You know, that has actually crossed my mind. I did however check voltage at the coil +, and it does show 12v so I think I may be ok. But I'm thinking of changing the alternator, voltage regulator, starter relay, just because everything is so old. What would you suggest for an upgrade to the...

In that case, if this "resistor cable" is working as a ballast resistor, then it should not have 12V at the coil +, right? But it does... I think whoever built the car must have used whatever cable they had available back then, maybe the car never had a ballast resistor. This is a...

You win a hug. Want it? Haha. Does anybody know where I can get a modern replacement for the regulator? All parts I found in rockauto, classic industries etc don't look anything like mine. Appreciate the help! Cheers

Hi guys Thanks for the knowledge shared, I think I'm good to go ahead with the install now. Just to clarify, my distributor is original from factory, the coil may have been replaced in the past. I'll just accept the fact that the RUN wire is 12v on coil positive and just go from there...

Could this be it? It's on the drivers side of the firewall.

Oh yeah. Bingo! Btw, where is the voltage regulator located? Cheers!

Hey folks, Any idea about what this is? It sits next to my battery. I think it's a voltage regulator but it looks funny. What are does two wires in the middle? If it is the regulator, where can I get a replacement? Cheers!

Thanks bbeep! Do you have any idea how my original coil is running off a 12v RUN wire while it shows 1.5ohm resistance when tested? Cheers!

Bump! Come on guys... I know you geniuses know this stuff... Help please!

Hi guys, Summer is finally over here in Australia so it's time to start working on the Dart again. I'm in the process of installing a Summit Racing Electronic Mopar Distributor (SUM-850003) and a MSD Blaster 2 Ignition Coil (8203), but I ran into a few problems. I'm no electrician so it's...

Thanks for all the info guys, highly appreciate this.

Buying locally is impossible for me unfortunately. My main doubt is wether the lower ball joints are different for front disk or drum brakes. An info on that? Cheers!

Hi guys I'm about to buy a set of lower and upper ball joints from Summit Racing, but I'm not sure they will fit a Dart with front drum brakes. Could somebody have a look at the following items and let me know? Lower ball joints - 101-10128, 101-10129 Upper ball joints - 101-10126 Thanks...

No cutting required, the face fit perfectly and the knobs are adjustable. Cheers.

Yeah, that's the main thing, I didn't want to install something that didn't look like it belongs to the car.

Yep it has output for 4 speakers and extra connections for amps, power antenna. The unit sounds nice, much better than the old 40-yr old AM radio anyway... May not be the highest spec out there, but the looks of it are great.

Hi guys There was a thread open a few months ago where a member was asking if anybody had installed a retrosound radio in a Dart. Well, I finally installed mine and thought there could be some interest here. Retrosound Model One Retrosound speaker 6x9 dual voice cone mounted under the dash...

Hello fellas, Finally got around to replacing the exhaust on my Dart. It's a stock 318 with Flowtech headers, cross pipe and a set of Dynomax VT mufflers. It's a 2.5" system with a 3" tip. Funnily enough, the headers had to be slightly modified to fit, apparently the Brazillian Darts...

Thanks all for the replies, it makes it worth all the long hours bringing the car back to life. Re the steering wheel, I've had the Dart for over 10 years in grandpa configuration so I thought I'd make it a bit sportier now. Plus the original steering wheel has completely perished so it was a...

Hey guys, Update! After 6 months of work, an engineers' report and a roadworthy inspection, the Dart is finally licensed! Just in time to enjoy the Aussie summer...
